CHICAGO — Nate Robinson scored a season-high 35 points, and the Chicago Bulls stopped another lengthy winning streak, rallying to beat New York 118-111 in overtime Thursday and end the Knicks' 13-game run.

Robinson came up big down the stretch, scoring eight points in the extra period.

Jimmy Butler added 22 points, Luol Deng scored 16, and the Bulls busted a long streak for the second time in about a two-week span after ending the Miami Heat's 27-game run — the second-longest in NBA history — on March 27.

They put the Knicks' longest streak in nearly two decades to rest with a surge in the second half, offsetting Carmelo Anthony's 36 points.

Robinson started OT with a three-point play to give Chicago a 108-105 lead, and after Anthony scored, the Bulls started to pull away.

Deng nailed a 3-pointer, and Robinson hit a free throw after J.R. Smith got called for a technical foul with 2:09 remaining for arguing a non-call against Deng on a missed drive. The Bulls guard then drove for a layup to make it 114-107, and Chicago hung on from there.

Chicago trailed by as many as 17 points and was down 79-64 in the third quarter before going on a big run to get back in it.

The Bulls were even up by nine — 99-90 — after a three by Robinson and layup by Butler with 5:42 remaining, but they did not get another basket in regulation.

The Knicks tied it at 105 with 14.5 seconds left when a driving Anthony got fouled by Butler and hit both free throws.

Deng then missed an off-balance fadeaway bank shot with 1.5 seconds left in regulation. New York's Raymond Felton grabbed the rebound, and after a 20-second timeout, Anthony's long jumper hit the rim and it went into overtime.
